• Maintain a simple pipeline (status, deadlines, requirements) and nudge stakeholders to keep submissions on track.
• Operations support
• Standardize reusable templates (one-pagers, slide decks, checklists, cover letters).
• Own light process documentation (SOPs) for repeat tasks; identify bottlenecks and propose practical tweaks.
• Assist with vendor onboarding, basic procurement comparisons, and record-keeping.
• Reporting

• Comfortable with spreadsheets (lookups, pivots) and presentation building.
• Confortable with the Microsoft 365 suite
• Good communications skills in English and French.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with Moroccan business procedures (company docs, attestations, ICE).
• Exposure to compliance-style submissions or formal application packages.
• Basic understanding of CRM tools and task trackers (Kanban boards, GANTT charts...).

What you’ll gain

• Hands-on exposure to how a startup evaluates markets, prepares opportunity files, and operationalizes processes.
• Mentorship from founders; clear feedback loops and portfolio-worthy deliverables.
• A chance to convert to a longer-term role based on performance.

Practical details
